It seems we agree, then? Those devices you mention would be in the category of older, lower-power machines that I mentioned.

Not quite. Even rather poor people in poor countries can get PCs with decent computing power, as PC performance plateaued circa 2010 and old PCs are really cheap. You don't need to get something 20-25 years old when something 5-10 years old is maybe 20% more expensive and a lot more powerful.

Bazel requires gigabytes of memory; for a 10y old machine that's still going to eat up most of what you've got.
